Spike woke up to humming coming from the kitchen. He was amazed that after a night of drinking the Slayer could not only be up, but in a good mood.
"Morning Luv," Spike smiled coming into the kitchen.
"Good you're finally up. Honestly, I've never known anyone who could sleep, well, like the dead." Buffy cracked. "I already called the restaurant to explain my resigning and I felt so good I made breakfast."
"What is that?" Spike asked staring at her. "It looks like a green blob in a bowl."
"It's an oatmeal island. It was one of my favorite foods when I was a kid. I haven't felt like making one in months, and then all of a sudden, BOOM, Oatmeal Island."
"Do you really expect me to eat this?" Spike asked shocked.
"It's real oatmeal it just has green food coloring added to it, which is appropriate considering who's going to be signing my paychecks for awhile."
"Speaking of which, when are you thinking about going back to school? You don't have to go back to Sunnyhell if you don't want to, but people do tend to graduate from High School."
"That's where having a night job comes in handy. I'm going to enroll back at my old school."
"Didn't you get expelled from there too?"
"Yes, but the school's changed principals and the new old is much more Flutie than the last one."
"Flutie?" Spike questioned
"The Principal that was eaten by hyenas last year after the school trip to the zoo." Buffy explained. "Anyway the point is school starts next Monday, my exciting new job starts tonight, and I haven't had an Angel nightmare in a week. My life is finally back on track and to thank you for helping with that here's a packer of Red Cross certified blood from the blood bank. I didn't really expect you to eat an oatmeal island."
"Good because I wouldn't." Spike smiled back pleased by her dramatic change in attitude. "But I'm glad that you're happy."
